Holy crap batman.

 

Today I had my first day off in what seems like forever so I went shopping for shiny bits for my car. I went to a couple of places to check things out and I started by qualifying my ride, ie: "Hi, I own a factory turbo and intercooled Corolla Sportivo" and I'm after .....

 

TWO of the places I went into, (Car Toys and Motoquip in Mile End) the guys said to me

 

"are you sure?"

 

me: "yes"

 

them: are you sure it wasn't done aftermarket?

 

me: *rolls eyes* YES!!!!

 

 

 

what IS IT with people????

"now, now, honey......why don't you send your daddy or your boyfriend down here to talk to us"

 

 

 

you should go in there with a powerdyke mullet, leather jacket, and cigar hanging from your mouth, then see how they treat you

BWAHAHAHAHAHAH Perfectly put Mikey!!!

Hmmm.... this seems to be a reccurring theme... most accessory shops get confused when you ask for anything that can't be fitted to a lancer coupe... :P

You mention any car that seems a little different to autobahn and they look at you stupid and claim your car doesnt need the part your after.

 

Went into autobahn "Do you have any small front mounts to suit a 4AGZE or something similar" and they reckon they don't have intercoolers standard and hence you can't put one on.

 

Just walk away like you were'nt even there and nobody gets wacked.

autobahn at warriewood tried to tell me all fuel hose was the same when i wanted EFI fuel hose for my conversion. My mate wanted them to order in a "ghostrider" video and they said they couldn't simply because they didn't like it, saying the rider in the video is "irresponsible".

Did you know that autobarn sells camshafts for rotaries, Now think about that 1.

Woot how much do they cost ? :P

Dunno, Me and my mate used to work there (he now works at autopro) and he rang there one day to prove to another person how stupid some of the new staff are so he rang up and asked for a cam for a 13b, he was quoted that they require 2 of them and he gave him some other info and i think he said he had some in stock, Not sure if the sales guy was just been stupid or he was stupid as i had someone ring me 1 day and ask if i had any flux capacitors and i said that id just go check to see if we still have any, I came back and said yeah mate i still have a few on the shelf.

Some people just should'nt deal with cars or be any where near one.
